Review of Green  
Review by jaya

Rated: E | (4.5)
A very tough situation to be in. Yet, you took it well instead if bursting into tears or into a fit of maddening fury.

You showed a different variety of kids. The title is on spot.
Her character came through very well. Quite obtuse.
‘“…sick, cold-blooded…”

You realized her crazy ways after a harrowing experience.

Narration, dialog and description are done meticulously.

Review of Lonely Boughs

Imagery is the best part of this poem written in free form.

I am Jaya, reviewing this sentimental verse for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a lovely day!

My guess is that you were bidding goodbye to your classmates at the end of the year. If that is so, your feelings are similar to mine and several others, I am sure.

“ once upon a careless teenage summer”

It could be harder than I imagine!

They go back to their places carrying carefully stored memories.
Yet, saying goodbye could be hard. It leaves a cypher in one’s heart no doubt. That’s life.

Excellent use of images from nature to show the persistent loneliness.

“as a palm outward extends and waves goodbye
and leaves only the lonely boughs behind.”

Alliteration enhances the loneliness expressed.”

I love this nicely flowing poem.

Review of A Union of Two  
Review by jaya

Aptly said.
A poem about natural and inherent love. Though two halves, they are in fact a whole. One cannot exist without the other.

The way you have shown the oneness of being in love is consistent and convincing and weathers no opposition. A well made point.
"We, together, are a union of Two"

That two people in love become one is everybody's knowledge.

The special point here is to treat an old theme in a novel way.
"We, together, hold the certainty
Of Love Everlasting"

The value and meaning of togetherness is shown very well. It causes me to think about the ways and means of loving sincerely and devotedly.

It flows well with visual imagery and it offers a lot to ponder.

Have a wonderful WDC Account Anniversary!

I like the way you translated something damaging as rain leak into a precious painting into an artistic manifestation.
That definitely explains the advantage of a positive outlook.

Points to ponder-
The weather in London and the condition of roads.
"The large droplets of water crashed against Martin’s raincoat as he skipped from puddle to puddle."
A tough walk to the art gallery.

The reckless way of handling something exclusive.
".... inevitably, had a gaping hole in the front of it."
I wonder why "inevitably".

I do admire Martin's cool-headed attitude.

A nice read.

Have a wonderful WDC Account Anniversary!

Hi Lori,

this is a touching poem. The poet's thoughts are profound and meaningful.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a wonderful day.

All the feelings she expressed show the kind of loving person she was. Her intent in writing this verse too is so impressive. She knew how much she would be missed, yet she didn't want to be chained.

"Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief"

I admire her fearless nature in the face of death. She obviously took it as a way of God. There's so much to learn from her regarding life, happiness and the ultimate death.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful rhyming poem.

It flows well.

Hi Elle,

this pleasantly rhyming verse is enough evidence of your poetic talent.
My review for this calming read is for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a lovely day!

You traced the Sun’s journey in quite an appealing way. I get to go over hills, dales, fields and rocky shores and much more. The thrill and joy you offer are priceless and precious.

Rhyme and rhythm of this poem are equally excellent.
I commend the fine word choices, and the concise and controlled content.

A fine poem with sensory imagery, it is one of a kind.

It flows well.

Hello Sharon,
this is a moving story, I appreciate a lot.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a wonderful day!

You have shown in the first part of the story, how to understand horse and maneuver him while riding.
Not an easy job by any means except with patience and love.

Bonding with a horse paid off in saving him towards the end.
The power of prayer is shown clearly.

Your flowing prose style and smooth transformations are winsome.

Thank you for sharing talent.

Hello Jenny,

Funny little poem!
Thoroughly enjoyable.

My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a wonderful day!

Halloween atmosphere is created very well in this nicely flowing verse. You brought in the horror element with the witch’s potion stirring in the cauldron, zombies, ghouls, goblins and the ghosts.

Words are used economy conveying exactly what is needed

I find it specially interesting that flying witch wishes the world, a happy halloween.

Imagery appeals to senses.

Hello Christine,

this highly personalized description of coffee got me to the quick. Everything about that mug of coffee at that special moment attains a meaning and local habitation.

My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a lovely day!

The beauty of this piece is that you have taught me how to make an alluring mug of coffee, mixing my motive and desire for it.
You have used all the senses for the benefit of describing the ultimate taste of coffee. Ah, how heavenly it tastes!

Imagery is sensory and appeals to me from the beginning till you have the steaming brew in your hands.

Interesting!

Hello Robinson,

I am truly impressed with the irony you used describing the best days of your life. Instead of mourning the loss of a nice day, you preferred the opposite. I appreciate that because in life I have come across several such incidents. Nothing like staying indifferent to such things.

My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a wonderful day!

Each day is made interesting by showing some mishap or the other, punctuated by, but, still, nevertheless and so on.

It is a bit of a consolation to find that such days are almost over. The rest hopefully would be all good ones minus unwanted things.
Well, we never know.

I love the style, the voice and the content of this very real poem.

It flows well with visual imagery and clear feelings.

Hello Donna,

It made me realize that gestures and timely help, help children grow into persons glowing with kindness and generosity.

The characters bring out this fact quite convincingly.
Ending is a true surprise.
She would know the change for the better in her son.

I appreciate your writing style and the ability to say a lot with controlled expression.

Hello Chris Breva,

I find this free verse quite endearing.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a wonderful day!

You have given me a good taste of West Virginia, its scenic beauty and its good natured people. This kind of place would be ideal for anyone.

The fact that you sometimes sleep without closing the doors is something unheard of where I live.
A fearless and free land is something idyllic.

With the river and the hill, nature seems to be kindly disposed to the people of West Virginia.

This poem flows well with simple word choices and appealing descriptive lines.

Imagery is visual and enjoyable.

Hello Katwoman,

I stopped to re-read certain lines because it looked as though it was me. It is as if you are spreading the panorama of life before my eyes.

I wonder whether you need to think of calling yourself a poet, when you know what it feels like one. Your verses prove that. Your words ooze sensitivity and lyrical charm.

Only a poet is aware of truth, painful though it might be.

"My life, then, would seem as though
it had been a clever choice and those around me
who have no use for my words
would be spared having to read them."

So what? Loss is theirs. As long as your words are a spontaneous flow of feelings, does it matter if others read them?

Your reflections are observations of life's lessons and experiences, the quintessence of real poetry.

I can see despite "regret" and "self pity," you enjoy writing, the blessed silver lining in the cloud.
Being "conventional" adds to confidence and uniqueness, particularly to poetry like yours.

Thank you for sharing your talent.

Have a wonderful, lovely WDC Account Anniversary!

Hi Mumsy,
It’s a lovely reflection on nature.
Two different sides of nature, each with its own uniqueness is well presented.

On the one hand, you dealt with nature appreciating its beauty and blessedness, on the other, you have shown what it means to have a newborn in the human world.

I appreciate the flowing prose by which means you have the beneficence of nature to all of us.

All the senses are aptly used .
It’s a reader’s delight.

Have a lovely WDC Account Anniversary.

I find this supernatural story very interesting.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on the completion of another year at the WDC. Have a wonderful day!

The story is pretty novel. I find all the various supernatural clans are living within short distance of each other and that they started being friendly neighbors too.
We did read that werewolves and vampires don't see eye to eye. Witches and sorcerers have the same problem.
Your brought three of them together and created some friendly conversations too. Those exchanges are quite interesting too.

" “The witches are chanting deep in the forest....""

It is an absorbing story.

No wonder you have been thinking about Abe Lincoln, his values and ideals. The occasion calls for it.

To me, he is iconic. A strong and supportive person that happens one in a century.
The fact that your uncle willed it to you sounds special. He must have loved him too. Perhaps, he wanted someone who respects the giant of a man as he did.

“ One artefact from a distant kin”

Life was certainly a struggle during those pages of history.

Structured poem flows well with contemplative tone and mood,

Have a wonderful WDC Account Anniversary.

Hello Simply Blue,

I am taken by the title first, and then the content itself.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on being an active creative member of the WDC for one more year. Have a wonderful day!

I too like those reflective afternoons and empty playgrounds. The sun sometimes, especially in summer is hot enough to make me stay in shelter. But as I cycle around the playground of the school nearby, I feel the welcoming warmth of the afternoon sun on my skin during the early winter days.

You said there is something sad about this atmosphere. True, because there's no one around and it as if they abandoned the sun and nature looks lonely too.

However, your thoughts have shown that nature looks beautiful at any hour of the day. It changes color and ambiance. It has its own charm all through the day.

I like the reflective tone and the leisurely pace of the piece.

It reads well.

Hello Spiritual D,

this is an inspiring write from any angle, rhyme, rhythm, content and imagery.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on ushering in another year of of creativity at the WDC.
Have a wonderful day!

This poem of rhyming couplets depicts the poet’s passion to find a way “to sit upon the star” with the help of his pen.

Pleasing Images like the one above are rare to come across. It helped me imagine going up there and to think of nice things like touching a smiling moon.

The tone of introspection reveals the fact that a poem rooted in truth is a source of joy.
“Expressing one’s soul is a pleasure and joy”

Rhyme and rhythm go hand in hand.

It flows well.

Hello Marie,

This sweet rhyme is spun on precious memories. It contains some inspiring observations.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on entering a new year of creativity at the WDC. Have lovely day!

The picture you painted after life is alluring enough to think of death with hope. The hope is not only to walk with God but also to meet the departed dear ones.

You also pointed out that life and death are two natural ends of creation.

I appreciate the imagery, word choices and the flow.

Hi Blue Jay,

Yes, this is more like my day too.
You did a great job parodying Christmas. Any festival could be jarring for the wife with a job.

This looks like everybody decided to give you a trying day, the headache being the result.

Fun line:
"When I walk through my door to find that my kid has lost his mind
Now he's eating sticks"

You have created a real entertainer highlighting how tough a daily routine could be for a mother and one who takes care of the dog and cat too.

The rhythm is intact and it moves well with the way she feels the boredom yet loving it. All of it grows on one I guess.

"I can really begin to sing, 'cause I wouldn't change a thing"

It flows well.

This poem is just right for this generation. Or, for any generation.
Seasons of life and their attendant cravings and misgivings are well depicted.

Regret, worry and concern rule the players on the stage of life. You have shown freedom from attachments alone can let mind wander and find salvation.

Rhyming couplets contain philosophy of life in a nutshell.

Images from life flash before my mind’s eye.

Thank you for a nice poem.

Hi,
I find this poem pretty awesome. My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on opening to a new creative year at the WDC. Have a great day.

Although it sounds like lullaby, it has this aura of mystery surrounding it. Who is he? what is the child's connection to him? Similar questions come to my mind.

There's no mention of father. So I cannot presume the person in the context to be her father.

However, the last stanza clarifies that he is no more. Dead and gone to an unfathomable distance. He is not even remembered by many. He must have been dead for a long time now.
So why would the mother want the kid to recall him and her memories of him now?

As I said, I find it interesting.

It flows very well with rhythm intact.

Hi Erin,

as the title suggests, the poem is marked by beauty.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on ushering in another year of creativity at the WDC. Enjoy your day!

I certainly like to meet this man, who appears to be the very form of beauty.

"He has the most beautiful mind"
I find this of key importance in a man.

The first stanza shows the reasons why you find him so appealing.

It is an emotional poem wherein the poet is in love with not just the idea of beauty but an example of it in her own life.

Imagery appeals as do the word choices.

Free style poem flows well.

Hi,

it is a cute little poem. I am reviewing it for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on going to the next year at the WDC. Have a wonderful day.

Fear of being hurt is expressed in an appealing way. All the important occasions in life are presented here.
fly,soar,connect, love, cure and death are the times when you require help from others and there are chances of being hurt everywhere.

But life happens without what we want.

It is funny how you want everything to happen without being hurt. Or on second thoughts you might make it possible too. Who knows?

Certainly amusing couplets.

Hello Bren

it is a pleasure to read this wonderful poem on music and its import in our lives.

I picked it from your port to review for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on completing another creatively active year at the WDC. Have a wonderful day.

As you said in the poem, music is sublime, a language of the soul. It has the power to cross language barriers to have an uplifting effect on the listener. It is difficult to imagine life without music. In India ( my country) every event from birth to death has a song made to bring out its importance.

Religious and devotional music can bring in vital changes in the life of a person or persons.

"For we all have need of music
And the loving bonds it gives,"

That music is superior that lets us communicate with God, tell him of our pains and pleasures and express gratitude for His support and love.

It has images from life that capture my imagination.

It flows well with with a precise rhythm.
